Hi. I have a fairly easy question:

I cannot get *.MPG files to show a thumbnail. This is occurring on 2 XP
machines; the *.WMV extension shows the thumbnail but not a *.MPG extenstion.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Type in Start, Run:

regsvr32 shmedia.dll

Thanks Ramesh. I tried the run line command, but to no avail. Any other
ideas? Thanks

MKO,

See if you have this registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpg\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}

(default) value being {c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}

If the key is intact and the problem persists, then it might be due to a
third-party codec?

Ramesh gave you some goood suggestions.

I have a question though. Are you getting just a black picture for
the thumbnail on them? If so then it just means that the first frame
of the file is black. Pretty normal for most mpg files.

Hi Ramesh. I checked the key and it is intact. Thanks again for the help.

Hi Les. No the thumbnail is the standard/default windows media player icon.

Perhaps, as Remesh suggested there is a 3rd party codec as the culprit.
I'll have to try removing this codec if I'm brave.

You could use MMCompView from www.nirsoft.net to disable Codecs temporarily.
